Hulk is the AVATAR of the one below all which is the same being that created all of the multiverse, the one above all. There is no "who may seem fit to give him an upgrade". There is no need. He is an avatar, the left hand of the one below all. This is why Hulk's strength has no limit. As beyonder says "I sense no finite element inside (of hulk)" . This is the reason Hulk is the only survivor of 616 universe and survives into the next iteration of the universe after the current universe died. Hence there is no way Superior is stronger. That's like saying she's stronger than the one above all.

Exactly and so has hulk. It's mentioned by DC comics in Doomsday clock issue number 12. Stronger than Superman and Doomsday . This was when DC and Marvel were supposed to do a crossover. That same year you see superman flash greenlantern (and I believe aquaman or batman) streak by in Thor's comic

DC has already came out and said Hulk is stronger than Superman and Doomsday. This happened when DC and Marvel were supposed to crossover. You can find this in DC's doomsday clock issue number 12. Plus the fact that Hulk is the avatar of the aspect of the one above all (one below all), creator of the whole multiverse automatically makes him stronger and explains his unlimited strength.

It didn't require all 7 hulks. If you read the series, thor already had problems handling one of the hulks. It wasn't even the main hulk. The main hulk was fighting She-hulk and decapitated her with one swipe of his hand as iron fist. He would have done the same to thor easily. The thing with Thor is he has numerous power sets (not just the weather control) but instead choose to fight hand to hand when we know he's not as strong as Hulk.

This isn't new. The Superman and Lois series which James Gunn had a hand in ending last year, made Superman the same way. I stopped watching the series midway through the final season once I realized what they were doing ie romanticizing mortality, which some say is "humanizing" . It made the show predictable because writers in Hollywood always do this. To me, it's unimaginative. Hollywood writers and directors always romanticize mortality/death. They, like most of society, erroneously believe vulnerability/mortality is the only way life has meaning. However, this just denotes a poverty of imagination.

Wow did this article just spoil the episode with the title of the article then gives a warning ? So now I know Negan died without having to watch the episode. I'm not gonna bother reading the article.
